Gilliam opens regional tourney with an 85

Folsom Lake College’s women’s golf team finished in last place during conference play, but No. 1 golfer Janet Gilliam is representing the school at the Nor-Cal Regional Tournament.

Gilliam’s opening round of 85 at Bing Maloney Golf Course yesterday has her in 13th place, just one spot away from qualifying for the state tournament. Gilliam is playing today in the second round and will need to finish among the top-12 finishers to qualify for the state tournament next week in Temecula.
